Rand Paul to Uncle Sam: Get Your Hands Off My Toilet!

TheAmericanPatriot
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., lambasted the Energy Department today, saying the agency forces Americans to buy toilets that don‘t flush properly and light bulbs they don’t want in the name of energy efficiency.

During a hearing of the Senate’s Energy and Natural Resources Committee, Paul told Energy Department official Kathleen Hogan “my toilets don’t work in my house. And I blame you and people like you who want to tell me what I can install in my house.”

    • Rand Paul does not have any idea of what he is talking about, a number of years ago the low volume toilets were less than idea. The technology has improved and they work much better the previous models. I have installed 2 of them in my house 2 years ago and they work very very well. They were not expensive, they were nearly the cheapest ones I could find.

      This asshat thinks we can live the way we want without any consequence before irreparable damage is done. That people will somehow make the best choices, and if they do not well that is just freedom. Freedom for them and not freedom for anyone else. The argument is a facetious one. Will the second amendment supporters go back to flintlock rifles. Should Ford start up the model T assembly line so that they can sell cars for $500.00 again. By the time the public has realized how bad or deadly or ineffective something is it will have cost many lives, dollars, and damage to the environment and or economy but the corporations will have made the profits and will not be held responsible for what they did except the people will eventually stop buying them. If a business or businesses can make a better product but it will cost a bit more and may affect profits they will not bring it out. The general public will not demand it because they do not know it exists or can be done. Business has a long history of saying something cannot be done or it is to costly, or the product is not actually harmful. The only entity strong enough to get business to act is the federal government. If a state were to act the business simply stops doing that business in that state. Nothing is actually changed when it is just a single state taking action alone.

      A libertarian is a delusional person, without some regulation and laws to protect the people, yes sometimes from themselves, from the actions of other people the rule of big applies, he who is biggest rules.

      A society must have rules in place to function and survive, and they are for the benefit of the greatest number, not for the most powerful.

      Randy sure seems to think he can rule on what happens with a woman's body, and I believe that is far more invasive than light bulbs or toilets.

    • Rand Paul, keep your hands out of our women's uteruses. Rand Paul, keep your nose out of my asshole, and that goes for you too, American UNPatriot! And Rand Paul, stop giving my money to the oil industry, and to arms manufacturers, and to giant banks, and to international corporations. Rand Paul, if you think that we are going to permit you to keep the blood money which corporate right is bribing you with, you are SELF DELUSIONAL! That's not a threat, it's simply a promise. Ditto to you, American UNPatriot!

      Just read the article. it's not faulty toilets. it's the amount of cumulative water flow relative to the waste systems. The waste systems were designed to require more water flow to keep them well flushed, never anticipating water conservation. The article implies they can upgrade the system. I'm sure that you are aware how much adequate water supply is a crisis in California.

      Yes, no problem friend. When S.F. recognized it's fresh water supply problem, either they decided to wait and see if their waste pipelines would facilitate the lower water flow of reduced flow toilets, before making the necessary adjustments to their pipeline system, or, they didn't anticipate this aspect of the issue. As they announced in the article you link, they are now addressing this fact by acting to make adjustments to their waste removal systems. So, it seems we can say it's S.F.'s fresh water supply problem that is responsible for the lower water flow issue.
